CRAN release?

Do you plan to release this package on CRAN? I think it would be a great addition!
I agree!
I've been using helper functions built on top of this in "production" for many months, and it's been a huge benefit to me. It's amazing to go out for a walk while waiting on some long running, but variable length, code execution.
Thank you both for the vote of confidence in this package. I'm happy with the functionality and glad that it's able to support your use cases. I am somewhat jaded by the CRAN process, particularly when involving network-related tests. I am yet to complete some overdue maintenance of my current CRAN packages (which arose because of a change in requirements) as it is.
(I think) I've added this package to my r-universe packages https://jonocarroll.r-universe.dev/packages and am interested in what advantage you see in having the package on CRAN. I appreciate and understand the benefit of CRAN's library-wide checks, but this package only depends on httr2 and jsonlite, and due to the network-dependent nature of this package's functionality, I would most likely need to either devote a reasonable amount of effort towards robust testing (of an API over which I have no control) or use very few tests (largely defeating the purpose of library-wide testing).
That's not to say "no", but more "first, why?"
